Finally, I gave him a box of Chinese tea in return, holding in his hand repeatedly said he was also Soon, her daughter settled everything, and I want to go back to Beijing. Before I left the day, I suddenly received a call from John. He said he hoped to see my side, want to invite me to go to bars to drink, If I so wish.

or very cold as ice and snow odd days, or step in a slippery piece of ice road, or crossing the frozen river, just days early to dusk. I come all the way to see the old John, still smiling as the light in front of the store waiting for me, or that a suit, or backs straight, walking strange look.
us into the man a drink, to improve foreign language skills, language barriers that are not.
Here is our memories of chatting in the bar records: John, said: I've been waiting for this day. quite sure that.
, and it was not me. hit from the Yalu River, only a few dozen kilometers away, the war soon be over. stopped, the whole world was frozen, we only stayed in the house can survive. I do not remember). cold how cold I could not sleep. I just lie down for a while, suddenly, the intense gunfire rang out outside the house and explosions.
with flares, the Chinese soldiers in front of you in charge, they are a group who rushed out from the woods, they hid in the woods, I do not know how long they are moving as a rigid timber hh do you know what is wood? log, log, logs, stiff, unprocessed wood, were cut into a section of the wood. The ice has been broken by our fire bombing, the river slowly braving the water vapor flowing in; you are Tangshui Chinese soldiers across the river; ashore after their two legs soon to be frozen, and they run very slowly, because their legs are frozen can not bend. Our very fierce fire, and their firepower is weak, and there is no fire cover, the gun seems to have been frozen. They are like stiff wood in the mobile hh > John kept repeating these words, he went on to say mmm
Next, they were constantly and was always rushed before crossed the river; Then they one by one as to fall like a log, then they keep some people rushed ago, crossed the river; fire, you have The soldiers are still in charge. Our fire is very strong, but could not stop them, they like the stiffness of logs kept in the mobile hh Bay across the river, washed ashore, toward us. a small river, river, lay a piece of full body, like the floor of the timber that the body was in disorder as it is rigid hh snowy night in a fire, shooting one, call one, Xueguang one; the air is also filled with the smell of smoke, snow and ice on fire, the river red, white ice and snow are red hh stiff them like logs in the mobile hh ;
repeated John, I was shocked this statement, also said this scenario was stunned. John's eyes straight ahead, hands trembling, his eyes staring at me closely, a rigid and distorted face.
John could not go, he looked down. good for a while, he raised his head, his eyes riveted on me. A minute later, he had a big swallow of wine, saying, night, I was stiff as logs that the mobile scene stunned by those who fear shook the soul of the dead soldiers, and this, too terrible. know, this is a war without victory of hope. to snow outside world. He said: said later, he was sent to Tokyo, then later, he was sent back to the United States, amassing Later, he came to Canada hh
I listened carefully, every word, I have understood it; each sentence, I remember: hh as they move down like logs, and then they rushed to the people, their legs can not bend as cold as the logs, they continue to Bay across the river, washed ashore, toward us. They are like stiff wood in the mobile. themselves. Then he added: what? Their first gun was holding his knife and sticks seized from the hands of the enemy, and their enemies have guns and cannons, the aircraft, they do not have that. Instead, they are often hungry, often cold death. The others, they almost did not. However, they are so came to be. They are like stiff wood in the mobile, as they fell like logs, they rushed to the back of another one, and their legs can not bend as cold as the logs, they charge forward firepower hhr hit by this, is the army The entire history. because they know, not afraid of death, the army may also animate the hope; afraid of death, the army did not even to be born, and so was born the day they gave birth to this are not afraid to The spirit of death, otherwise, the army has long been dead, really, would have died. They have no other choice. do not know, Mr. John, all of the army to fight the battle life are a hundred reasons not play in the battle; they were all the wars, are a thousand reasons for war are certain death; Korea war, it is a million reasons are not win the war! because their opponent is the world's number one military power mmm United States, but that military power has just threw two atomic bombs in Japan, Korea and China is also ready to re- dozens of atomic bombs to throw it. As a general concept of war, this is a bound to lose the war, but the army win. know, Mr. John, the son of Supreme Commander of the army and the ordinary soldiers did, that you said that moving the rigid timber, eventually buried in the snow and ice in the North. They lost the battle more than once, and lost more than one battle, they died many, many people. But they had never been afraid, never yield before. is the basis of this spirit, they always won the final. , I asked: . Afterwards, the army has its own tanks, artillery, aircraft, hh is the basis of this atomic bomb. In this way the history of the army. Really, Sir John, you feel strange? This is a very hard for you understanding of national spirit of the Orient, but also very hard for you to understand the spirit of another army. is very easy to defeat, and history are like this. However, the Korean War of the Chinese military is an exception, they are completely different from any of the history of China A Chinese army. because the army has a history of the Chinese military has never had a unique soul: a fear of ghosts soul. As your eyes see, they are not afraid of death, they like the logs moving. an army on the most difficult to overcome. Do not rewrite the Korean War the Chinese army's humiliating history? Do that war is not the most brilliant army record it? unusual disparity in strength between the two armies, two are not the same technology times the national, a certain death in the war, no air force, no navy, soldiers, even in the snow wearing unlined hh However, they began the Yalu River, beyond the military demarcation line. They will do anything not on by! is a virtue that is not afraid ghost spirit! nothing else is not! This is not afraid of ghosts unique spirit of the army hh what, no one was afraid, like the atomic bomb, such as weapons or special powerful fighting force something special. on all the things people are afraid, we are called ghosts. China and the Chinese army turned out to be very afraid of ghosts, and fear over a hundred years, hell afraid, afraid gunboats met West to death. from the first Opium War in 1840, we lost every battle every army, defeated mess, suffered a crushing defeat; the results, the more the more ghosts to fight, the more the more ghosts, the more afraid of ghosts to fight more to suffer, The more fear the more to lose. the Chinese army that point long ago lost all self-esteem and confidence, to scare the hell. a hundred years, the Chinese armed forces could not find the North, could not find his way out exactly where. Finally, we have lost the only scared to death that way. Later, the Chinese are not afraid of a ghost of a man who personally created and cultivated army this is not afraid of ghosts, is this not afraid of a ghost army, playing all his life afraid of ghosts battle. from the Yalu River that starts and ends with military demarcation line in the Korean War, the Chinese army to find his own dignity, and wiped out his own century of humiliation hh that is not afraid of ghosts on the story of the Chinese armed forces. br> come! drink, cheers! , has been afraid of death of the soul can not forget that, and I have been puzzled by the East that support troops troubled soul, I have been want to see you, I always wanted to know what kind it is the soul?
I do not want to say, I am impress. I really do not know how to explain to a foreigner old man, what is the soul of the Chinese army? It was a kind of soul? hh Oh, this old man foreigners, alcohol to drink it, what is the soul of pull it?
bar to the left two of us.
Suddenly, John asked me: ; I said.
the voice of the soul. , foot of the motherland of the earth, carrying the hope of the nation, we are an invincible force. We are the children of workers and peasants, we are the people's armed forces, never fear, not to yield, fighting heroically, until the elimination of the reactionaries clean, flying high the banner of Mao Zedong. Listen! wind whistling bugle sound, listen! revolution, how loud and clear voice! step toward the liberation comrades of the battlefield neat, orderly pace comrades rushed to the frontiers of the motherland, forward, forward! our team to the sun, towards the final victory, towards the liberation of the country! John listened quietly, his face without a smile, a very solemn way.
hhhh
more than three years later, that night of passion has become the distant past. I occasionally give John send a E-mail, say a few words of greeting, it touches on John often sent me E-mail, said, want to see me, want to drink with me , chat, want to talk about the story of the soul of the Chinese army. Westerner is such a muscle!
'd time me and my friends and occasionally talk about the stories moving on the wood, listening to people when Listen scripts in general, we quite surprised: symmetry do not play Well, the enemy without fighting the soldiers, good good is hh , all of a sudden like a new person like hh
Postscript: This is our soldiers, their honor and dignity of the motherland has long been indifferent to their own lives, to peace and the people of new China's dignity, even if they face the risk of pieces did not hesitate, they worthy of our most beautiful people!!!
to all the bloody fight in the Korean War volunteer soldiers to extend my highest respect!!!
to all for the motherland independence, the people's freedom and happiness and strive to offer our most sacred martyrs salute!!!
